Digital Particle Image Velocimetry
Christian Willert,Morteza Gharib +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the directional ambiguity associated with PIV and LSV is resolved by implementing local spatial cross-correlations between two sequential single-exposed particle images, and the recovered velocity data are used to compute the spatial and temporal vorticity distribution and the circulation of the vortex ring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereoscopic Digital Particle Image Velocimetry for Application in Wind Tunnel Flows
TL;DR: In this article, a particle image velocimetry system based on a stereoscopic viewing arrangement is realized, which is capable of accurately recovering the out-of-plane velocity component of a vortex ring passing through a laser light sheet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional particle imaging with a single camera
Christian Willert,Morteza Gharib +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a single camera system uses defocusing in conjunction with a mask (three pin holes) embedded in the camera lens to decode three-dimensional point sources of light (i.e., illuminated particles) on a single image.
Journal ArticleDOI
The flow field downstream of a hydraulic jump
TL;DR: In this article, a control-volume analysis of a hydraulic jump is used to obtain the mean vorticity downstream of the jump as a function of the Froude number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsed operation of high-power light emitting diodes for imaging flow velocimetry
TL;DR: In this article, high-powered light emitting diodes (LED) are investigated for possible uses as light sources in flow diagnostics, in particular, as an alternative to laser-based illumination in particle imaging flow velocimetry in side-scatter imaging arrangements.
